COLOR BLINDNESS.

The Alabama law concerning color blind ness to which we referred the other day is a radical one. It disqualifes Gall persons af- power' for service as locomotive engineers, fremen, conductors, brakemen, station agents, switchmen, hsgmen, gate tenders, or signal men, "or in any other position which requires the use or discrimination of form or color signals" The governor is to appoint medical examiners, and the law is to be enforced by the State board of health. above mentioned capacities without having obtained certificate of fitness will be guilty of misdemeanor. Railroad officers employ ing such persons will be guilty of the same grade of offense. Two classes of employees are recognized by the law. Those in the first class-engineers, fremen and brakemen- must show 'shealthy eyes and eyelids without habitual congestion or inflammation, an un- obstructed field of vision, normal visual acuteness and refraction, freedom from color blindness and absence of cataract" Other workmen fall into the second class, and the requirements are the same, except that the visual acuteness may be "equal to three ifths without glasses and normal with glass es," while one eye must be entirely free from color blindness, and the other may be slightly defective in that respect. Re-exam- | nations shall be made once in five years
 The expense of examinations and certificates
 is to be borne by the companies.
 This is severe enough to satisfy even the | most strenuous advocate of such laws Whether it will work well and justly re-
 mains to be seen. Many railroad officials
 are still of the opinion that man who car
 and does do his work we'll and safely should not be subjected to examination whicf
 has not heretofore in some cases seemed te be very practical. Perhaps the general idle.
 among railroad men is that expressed by
 committee of English railroad workers
 which considers the only practical test to b.
 with signals and lamps, both by day ana
 night, but still considers the card, for theo
 retical test, not too severe if fairly applied.

Andover Professors Autographed.

have been interested in photograph in
 window of the Congregational building on
 Beacon street of the Andover professors. It
 represents them standing in front of the seminary, some being on the doorstep and others on the ground, as if determined to hold the liberal fort, and the general effect is that of dignifed independence. The pro- fesfors on the steps are Woodruff, Moore, Hincks and Smyth; those on the ground are Taylor, Tucker, Harris, Churchill and Gulliver. All but one of the professors ! have their hats in their hands; they seem | to be about evenly divided between the formal "stove pipe" and the less exacting derby, but Taylor has his "beaver' on his head. Although all the professors are 1 dressed in becoming clerical black, with coats closely buttoned, I noticed but one | white cravat. Taken collectively they have I think ministerial, or at least a profes- sional, appearance, although bright law yer of my acquaintance remarked on look
 ing at the group, "they don't look much ll me as having a more solemn appearance \ than any of his brethren, and his white | hair and beard emphasized the serious ex- pression of his countenance. Professor Har- | ris, with his upward look, gives the impress | sion of cheerful confidence; Professor Moore's downward glance is suggestive of 6 penetrating thoughtfulness Professor Gulli- yer has a certain determined expression l which indicates a good deal of reserved pow. CT, while the rotundity of Professor Church ! ill suggests that it would be difficult to push | him off his base. Professor Woodruff, with | his glasses, looks impressed by the responsi- | bilities of his position, and Professors Hincks | Taylor and Tucker confirm the idea conveyed | by the appearance of their associates of tht ! earnest and serious purpose with which they have entered npon the new theological de ] parture. Altogether the Andover professor, appear as if able to handle burning questions without getting intellectually scorched.

tance between Denver in Colorado and Salt
 Lake City in Utah, and consequently the
 distance between the Missouri river, say at
 St. Louis and San Francisco, nearly 300 miles, and there would be little more reuuir- ed in the way of ascending or descending or
 tunneling mountains. Part of the work has already been accomplished. The country
 from the Missouri to the foot of the Rockies rises gradually in rolling prairie until an ele- vation is reached of 5,2OO feet above the sea level. The Rockies themselves rise at various
 places to height exceeding 1000 feet Of
 the twenty most famous passes, only seven are below 10000, while five are upward of 12,O0O, and one is 13, 900 feet. The point from which it is proposed to tunnel is sixty miles due west from Denver, and, although one of the highest peaks, it is by far the nar- rowest in the great backbone of the Ameri- can continent.
 Chicago is lively city, but it can't have a stock exchange that amounts to anything. The Chicago Stock exchange is not doing any business, but still solemnly keeps going at an expense of about $9, 900 year. The direc- tors about twelve months ago voted to divide at each monthly meeting $50 among such of them should be present. This has been ! regularly done. It is on record that, at one ! meeting, the secretary got up and moved ! that, there being no business to transact, the 1 body should adjourn without the division of l the $50. It was done on that single occasion; but the secretary has never dared to propose anything like it since. There are about six hundred people in different parts of | creation who own memberships which cost ! them from $1OO to $70O They contributed ! $12 each this year to defray the expenses Of g l stock board. which confessedly has not done any business for two years. There is $1 ,5OC | for the rent, paid to one of the directors, | $500 for the fees of the directors for attend | ing their own meetings, $2,0O0 for the ser vices of gentlemanly secretary, $500 for the ! services of nice looking boy, whose duty it | is to post quotations when any are made | $350 for ticker service and $150 for tele' phone. There have been offers made tc ' either wind the board up or buy up the ! memberships of such as cared to withdraw. But there is fund of $100,000 invested ir | good bonds and so long as there is $500 left to be divided at the monthly meetings it is not expected that steps will be taken by the ! directors either to divide the funds or tc \ wind up the board.

 He Shot Under the Ocean to Europe
 in an Afternoon.
 A few weeks since the Waterbury Ameri- can published an article about the invention of Colonel John H. Pierce, of Huntsville. The Boston Globe sent special man down to interview him and published the result Friday. Colonel Pierce served in Bob Inger- soils regiment during the war, enlisting when under age. He got his military title when he was lieutenant colonel of cavalry regiment in the Black Hills some years ago.. For ten years he was on the Omaha Bee, and so knew how to treat a reporter. After de- scribing how little one would expect to find so great genius in an ordinary New Eng land town of one thousand five hundred in habitants, the reporter gives the colonels words thus:
 "Yes, I believe my plan is practical one. This country can be connected with Europe by means of pneumatic tubes of large pro- portions. When the theories are reduced to practice they may be modified to some ex- G0ut, OuO aoouAO JON tAO SAAAS Ao OSAAAAAS ~ may not be at once. but it is certain. You know the general public were for time skeptical about the submarine telegraph, :" said the colonel, smiling.

 He then wishes the girl good day, affect ing to believe that the interview is over. But she is sure to finger, and after a blush and sigh she whispers, "So it is particularly your wish, Herr Pastors do not quite like him. with deep sigh, "but if you At this point she virtually hands over the business to the minister, who has to tell her that she knows she loves the lad; that she would not have come if she had not thought of accepting him and that nothing is wanting but to ask the blessing of God upon their union. The marriage, curiously enough. usually takes place upon the very day on which the bride has emphatically protested that she will never have the bridegroom.
